Comments, questions and tips

The reason they might not be binding could be because you need to soak them in egg a bit more.
Another way to help bind is to use corn flower, or a bit of dextrose. Shouldn't have a problem then

A bit strange that this receipe contains no seasoning at all so I tweaked to our taste and added salt, black pepper, a dash of tomato ketchup, a pinch of mustard powder, a dash of Worcester sauce plus fresh breadcrumbs. They were delicious and held together really well.

These are awful, they just fell apart! Wish I hadn't bothered. Lack of flavour also.

I am looking forward to making these and going up early one fine Summer morning to Dartmoor and having a barbecue. The only thing I will omit is onion, yuk !! I HATE them.

These were very tasty however they did fall apart quite a lot although that could be because there was a lot of onion (added even more onion than the recipe said- what was I thinking? Luckily I love onion!). Left in the fridge for 45 mins. Will definitely make again and experiment with more exciting ingredients.

I just prepared mine and I added half a chicken stock cube, some chilli flakes, a little paprika and garlic powder. Im leaving it overnight and preparing it tomorrow hope it turns out well! Will give it a rating tomorrow

Waste of my time and effort. Fell apart even though they had been chilled. Now having onion mince for dinner instead of burgers :-(

Really yummy recipe, I added a small green chilli to the ingredients but would add another next time & maybe reduce the amount of onion I put in too as my burgers could've been mistaken for onion bhaji's! (tasted good though) I left mine in the frigdge for just over an hour to bind after reading everyones comments & then cooked under the grill they stayed perfectly in shape! :) Great recipe, great for peace of mind after the horse meat scandal!
